SPECIFIC WARNING AND CAUTION STATEMENTS
The statements that follow are applicable to the generator set and appear elsewhere in this manual. These recom- mended precautions must be understood and applied during operation and maintenance of the equipment covered herein.
WARNING
Beware of moving poly
CAUTION
Never pour cold water into a hot engine.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should ether or any other unauthorized starting aids be used in conjunction with the air intake heat- er.
WARNING
Beware of moving poly
CAUTION
Use only ethylene glycol,
CAUTION
Never open the radiator cap when the cool- ant is hot.
WARNING
Beware of pinch points.
WARNING
Do not use gasoline to clean air cleaner parts.
WARNING
Do not direct water or steam into the gener- ator openings. Do not allow any soap and water solutions to enter the alternator.
WARNING
High voltage (dielectric) testing must not be performed to the machine without first ob- serving NEMA rules. The insulation of this generator winding may be safely checked by using a megger. A high megger reading indicates good insulation.
CAUTION
Observe proper polarity when installing the battery or connecting a battery charger, the negative battery terminal must be grounded. Reverse polarity may damage the charging system. When charging the battery in unit, isolate the battery by discon- necting the negative battery terminal first, then the positive. Once the battery has been charged, connect the positive battery termi- nal first, then the negative.
CAUTION
Always cover the engine inlet tube while the air cleaner is being serviced.
CAUTION
Do not underfill or overfill the oil bath cups. Overfilling of cups causes loss of capacity; underfilling cups causes lack of filtering ef- ficiency.
CAUTION
When trying to restore residual magnetism, be sure to wear safety glasses and
CAUTION
The rotor should not be pulled out from the alternator more than 0.75 inches. Damage to the bearing and windings may result.
CAUTION
Continued operation with failed shockmounts may result in engine or gen- erator damage.
